Oil and Gas Logistics Brokerage
We broker tank storage, oil tanker and LNG carrier requirements for qualified commodity traders, producers, refiners, distributors and energy companies. Our mandate-based service coordinates credible logistics requirements with suitable terminal operators, vessel owners, chartering channels and specialized energy logistics counterparties.
Moving crude oil, refined petroleum products or LNG requires more than finding an available tank or vessel. Product compatibility, terminal access, vessel class, loading windows, discharge capability, contractual terms, compliance and counterparty credibility must all align.
Our oil and gas logistics brokerage service is designed for companies with defined commercial requirements and the financial capacity to contract storage or marine transportation. We help structure the request, identify appropriate counterparties and coordinate the commercial process toward direct contractual discussions.
Our position: We act as an independent commercial broker and mandate coordinator. We do not own or operate tank farms, terminals, oil tankers or LNG carriers. Final capacity, availability, pricing and contractual acceptance remain subject to the relevant owner or operator.

Tank Storage Brokerage
Tank storage requirements must be matched according to the product, location, required capacity, storage period, turnover frequency and handling specifications. A terminal described as suitable for petroleum products may not necessarily be appropriate for the exact grade, volume or operating schedule involved.
We work with clients seeking storage capacity for defined physical commodity transactions. Depending on the mandate, the required arrangement may involve static storage, throughput capacity, blending capability, pipeline access, truck or rail loading, marine jetties or recurring product movements.
| Requirement | Information Needed | Brokerage Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Petroleum tank storage | Product grade, volume, location, duration and start date | Compatible terminal capacity and commercial terms |
| Throughput agreement | Monthly movement, delivery mode and expected turnover | Handling capacity, access and operational schedule |
| Blending requirement | Input products, target specification and required facilities | Terminal capability and operational compatibility |
| LNG storage | Volume, terminal, delivery schedule and technical specifications | Specialized infrastructure and terminal compatibility |
Oil Tanker and LNG Carrier Brokerage
Marine energy logistics depend on the relationship between the cargo, vessel and terminal. We assess the client's stated requirement before approaching suitable shipowners, operators, chartering channels or specialist marine brokers.
Oil Tanker Requirements
A workable request should identify the cargo, quantity, loading port, discharge port, laycan, expected transit, vessel class and required charter structure.
Depending on the transaction, this may involve crude carriers, clean product tankers or vessels suitable for heavier petroleum products.
LNG Carrier Requirements
LNG shipping requires detailed alignment between the carrier, liquefaction facility, receiving terminal, cargo schedule and technical characteristics of the relevant infrastructure.
Broad requests for an “LNG tanker” without defined terminals, volumes, schedules and commercial authority are generally not actionable.
What Our Brokerage Mandate Covers
Requirement Structuring
We organize the commercial and technical requirement into a defined brokerage brief that suitable market participants can assess.
Counterparty Identification
We identify potentially relevant terminal operators, vessel interests, chartering channels and specialized logistics counterparties.
Commercial Coordination
We coordinate information requests, availability discussions, preliminary terms and introductions between qualified parties.
Retainer-Based Representation
We accept qualified assignments under a written brokerage or advisory mandate. The retainer covers initial assessment, mandate preparation, targeted market outreach, counterparty engagement and transaction coordination. Additional brokerage or success-based compensation may apply and will be defined in the engagement agreement.
Client Onboarding Criteria
We prioritize executable logistics mandates from established companies and authorized transaction principals. Meeting the criteria below does not guarantee acceptance, but it allows us to determine whether the requirement is sufficiently developed for representation.
Verifiable Corporate Authority
The applicant must be a principal, buyer, seller, cargo owner, charterer, operator or formally authorized representative of the company requiring the logistics service.
Defined Logistics Requirement
The product, volume, route, location, required capacity, contract duration, start date and relevant technical specifications must be clearly stated.
Commercial Readiness
The client must have a credible underlying transaction, realistic timetable and the financial capacity to meet storage, chartering, operating and brokerage costs.
Supporting Documentation
Relevant documents may include corporate records, authority letters, product specifications, cargo schedules, terminal requirements, trade contracts and financial capability evidence.
Compliance Readiness
Applicants and relevant transaction parties must complete applicable KYC, AML, sanctions and transaction-level compliance procedures.
Retainer Capacity
The applicant must acknowledge the minimum US$50,000 retainer and be prepared to execute an engagement agreement before brokerage work begins.
We do not accept: anonymous requests, unverifiable mandates, requests without a defined cargo or location, parties seeking proof of capacity for promotional purposes, or applicants who cannot demonstrate authority and financial capability.
